Interior construction for hotels, restaurants and bars

Interiors built for service, not just for the opening photos.

We engineer, make and install the bars, banquettes, panelling and reception desks of hospitality interiors – to your interior architect's design or our own – and plan backwards from your opening date.

Who we work with

One party from drawing to opening night.

Owners and hospitality groups come to us when an opening date is fixed and the interior cannot slip. Interior architects come to us when they need their design intent built exactly – with shop drawings they can check, and mock-ups they can touch.

Owners & operators

New opening, renovation or rebrand. You want one accountable partner, a clear programme and finishes that survive a busy Saturday.

Developers & groups

Hotel schemes and multi-site concepts. You need a fixed sequence of approvals, coordinated trades and repeatable joinery details.

Interior architects

Your design, our engineering. We translate drawings into shop drawings, raise questions early and protect the design intent on site.

Rooms we build for

Hotels, lobbies, restaurants.

Every venue type asks something different of joinery: durability at the bar, comfort in the lounge, a first impression at reception.

Materials library

Choose finishes with their future in mind.

Oak or terrazzo, velvet or leather, brass that patinates or brass that stays bright. Our library shows each finish next to where it works, how it wears and how it is maintained – so the choice in the design meeting still looks right in year five.

How we work

Five stages. You approve each one.

Bespoke work feels unpredictable when nobody explains what happens between the design and the installation. Ours is a fixed sequence with sign-offs, so surprises surface on paper or on a sample – not on site.

  1. 1Design intentYour architect's drawings or our design. We review buildability and budget.
  2. 2Shop drawingsEvery piece drawn to the millimetre, with materials and fixings. You sign off.
  3. 3Mock-upA full-size sample of the critical detail. Touch it before we make forty.
  4. 4WorkshopProduction, finishing and pre-assembly in our own workshop.
  5. 5InstallationPlanned around other trades – or around a venue that stays open.

The process in detail

Demonstration project

Harbour House: lobby, bar and 64 rooms, phased around a live hotel.

A worked example of how we approach a hotel refurbishment: three phases, one mock-up room, a terrazzo-topped bar and a reception desk in smoked oak. The hotel and figures are fictional; the method is the point.

Tell us the venue, the mood and the date.

Pick a style direction, lay out a material palette and set your opening date. You get a mood-board summary with an indicative phase plan – a starting point for the intake meeting, not a quote.
